Started photography in the 1970s. Kept all the negatives after printing (and giving prints away). I think I may have a little project on my hands. Thanks for the video. Very informative.
THANK YOU! I'm getting started with film photography and want to do it as cheaply as possible - thanks for showing how to do it without an expensive plugin! Excited to try this :)
Currently in the process of going through 50+ years of negatives to find the images I want to archive for the family. Black and white was easy to figure out, color not so much. Thanks for the very useful tips. Subscribed.
I Work similar way on individual curves instead of RGB curve. Keep eye on the histogram's each colour - especially at highlights to get white and shadows for black - while working on white balance, calibration, tone curves . . .
Thank you so much Ribsy for this very informative video and for sharing your process! Today I have developed my very first color negative film. I scan my films with my camera, so converting my negatives in Lightroom is perfect for me. I have already been doing that with my bnw film for a while but had no idea how to get rid of the orange with color film. I especially like workflow #2 which gives me more control. Again, thx a lot!
I just started shooting and developing B&W and color film again. This video is exactly what I was looking for re: editing in LR. Thank you so much for posting this. Great job!
Thank you so much for this video. It’s simple and straight to the point. I recently got into film and plan to scan my own film. This video helps a lot!
You deserve way more subscriptions dude! Even though I'm not bound to these methods anymore since I use Negative Lab Pro this video stil remind me of my early days and first steps in film photography. I used to edit every channel in the tone curve and editing a whole 35mm film was sooo time consuming. :/ Still nicely explained which made it a joy to watch and a nice channel as well!
thanks for watching! yea, things can get very tedious over time. i've eliminated some steps from my workflow so i could keep things fluid and fun. just as i use different cameras, i now use different processing and scanning methods.
@@ribsy I now feel like I put way too much effort in it! :D I almost did it the way like you in workflow #2 except for the following: I inverted every RGB channel and dragged the beginning and the end of the lines toward the middle until the histogram showed the triangle of pure black/white areas then I had a good starting point and just had to edit the middle of the curves into the direction I needed to fix a colourshift completely but I guess you can imagine how much time just one image takes - and now imagine a whole film. Oh my gosh...
Hey - thanks. I scan the negatives on the flatbed scanner without the negative holder. Alternatively, you can do dslr scan and get the full border too. As long as the film is straight and not curving excessively, it should be easy to do.
Get Vuesan....choose File as source and it does all the magic. U can convert several shots at once. Pay one, use lifetime. And it comes with drivers for thousands of scanners.

scanned a bunch of negatives of old family photos, and your video helped me a ton with editing them! thank you so much!
Great!
Thank you!!! I am glad I found your video. Your tips brought my negative scanning to a different level. My images look so much better now.
This was really helpful; thank you. Adobe needs to add a invert button for the Tone Curve; it would make things that much easier.
that would be super helpful
Thanks for making this video!I don’t shoot much colour but got some negs back from the lab today. Can’t wait to try this
Definitely! It’s good fun

@@ribsy I have Lightroom already for my digital photography so no hair off my back to get this working :)

Very good info. What is the best way to go about creating a "general" preset for film stocks?
I dunno 😅
Thanks for this. Just getting back into film and this is a huge help!
no prob! glad the video was a bit helpful
This was dope man! Really gave me some good tricks to throw in my bag.
You! Enjoy
is there a preset for each film brand that captures the character (Colors and tones) that the manufacturer intended for?
Nope. There are no right answers
Subscribed! Great video. Curious if you scan your negatives or photograph them using a light box, stand, etc. thanks!
i do! i use my digital camera for scanning
Very good explanation! This is my second time watching this as a reminder. Super easy to follow and it all makes sense. Great job!
haha thanks for watching!
Awesome tutorial. Really loved the last technique
thanks. yea, its nice to be able to do stuff in lightroom only
@@ribsy Gonna get myself a scanner from Epson and try it out. My grandparents apparently have some old cameras so it will be a fun experience
I just started shooting and developing B&W and color film again. This video is exactly what I was looking for re: editing in LR.
Thank you so much for posting this. Great job!
no prob. i am glad it was helpful 😊
thank you ribsy for the tutorial!
You’re welcome
wow! took my breathe away when i used the white balance dropper.
This is great ! Just started with the DSLR scanning and found this v helpful.
Thanks.
Keith
glad it was helpful!
Great video, brilliantly explained.😊👍📷🎞
Thanks for watching!
Greetings,
Wow, your converting techniques is really simple and your explanation is very clear as well. Thank you, sir. 🙏🏻
its not my technique but im glad i could get you started 😊
I Needed this! Amazing video
Enjoy!

Excellent tutorial Sir. Thumbs Up and Subscribed
One thing to note is try and get a pure consistent light source to scan your negative. That helps control white balance across scans
yea definitely - that makes a huge difference. good light box is key
Should you also invert the rgb tone curves also or leave them normal?
nope, don't need to invert those, but you can def modify them
This was super helpful!!! Thank you
I’m glad
Great vid. I see you were able to get the boarders with film info into the scan. How are you getting that?
Thanks.

Ribs Doing Film Things Amazing. Thanks for that.
Cool video man, thanks for the explanation.
thanks for watching 😊
Great video! Very good information thanks!
thanks! glad it was helpful
Really good stuff, I use the individual red, green, and blue method. I learned some tricks tho, thanks for the vid :)
yea glad it worked for you! keep messing with it
Whaaaaat! This is fantastic!!
Yea! Check out the newer one I made
Great tutorial , really helpful
glad it was useful. check out the newer one
This is amazingly helpful. Thanks so much! Liked and Subbed sir
😀
Beautiful photos bro🔥
Thank you!
very explicative ! thank you so much. greetings from Rome, Italy
Great! Glad it was helpful
I used your video to follow along. My point curve stays anchored and doesnt move. Do I need to change the file from DNG to TIF?
Hmmm I have no idea. Sorry
thank you very much. this is awesome
You are very welcome
Very Helpful. Thank you.
For sure. Enjoy 😊
You're the man, Ribs!
haha thanks
What would your camera settings be to take the film?
It depends
Cool video, thank you!
thanks for watching
Great tutorials. Thank you!
Nice, thank You 😊
You're welcome 😊
30 seconds in and mind blown
hahaha
Why not use the last settings as presets?
You could but it doesn’t translate wel in my experience
@@ribsy Thanks for your response and explanation!
Clean, Barebone Clean information. Thank you so much!!!
im glad 😁
man this is GOLD
Glad it’s useful!
This is amazing!!!
Thanks! Yea, Lightroom is quite capable
Thank you so much!
Glad it was helpful 😃
What about black and white film?
just invert the tone curve
One thing I do is use the option 'Edit in Photoshop' than invert the image there, so the sliders work the usual way in Lightroom, not inverted. :]
Yup!
thanks bro
Hope it was helpful 😃
nice video tnx
Thank you
You are welcome
I was the 1k like!🎉
thank you
respect you!
thanks!
Given the cost of a Lightroom subscription, it's really bad that there's no dedicated tool within the application for doing this.
Yea they should have one
Get Vuesan....choose File as source and it does all the magic. U can convert several shots at once. Pay one, use lifetime. And it comes with drivers for thousands of scanners.
yea i have that already. was simply looking to show what can be done with just lightroom
👍🏼
thanks for watching
naja ...
